Early Hockey Memory: "Getting a chance to play in some pretty unique tournaments with our team the Ontario Butterbeaks. We played in Kingston, Ontario in a tournament and got Gordie Howe's gloves as a trophy. They bronzed and silvered his gloves. Never forget that."

Favorite Movies: "Anything with Steven Seagal or Clint Eastwood. And John Wayne, too."

Last Book Read: "Popular Mechanics. I like to read for things I need, not for relaxation. I like to tinker with things."

Greatest Sports Moment: "I guess greatest moment of my career would be just making it to the NHL. 12 teams - getting picked by the Philadelphia Flyers (third round, 32nd overall in 1970)."

Most Painful Moment: "Watching Dave Schultz get a hat trick (laughs). Painful...when the whole season comes down to the last minute, a point you lose for whatever reason, during the season, and the whole season's over because of it. It's a huge letdown."

Funny Memory: "Me and Dave Schultz going against Pierre Bouchard and Larry Robinson. In 1980, I end up in Washington. Pierre Bouchard ends up in Washington. We end up in condos next to each other, three doors apart. One day he's playing with my kid. Something is wrong with this picture - five years ago he was beating the s--- out of me (smiles)."

Strangest Game: "1975 playoffs with Buffalo. There's no air conditioning in The Aud; the fog was coming down. They're skating around with sheets trying to lift the fog. Jim Lorentz killed a bat. Rick MacLeish picks up the bat with his bare hand to throw it out. Doesn't he know what rabies are? All that happened in one game."

Most Memorable Goal: "That's really easy when you don't score many, you remember them both (smiles). Eleven seconds into the third period, to sink Buffalo, to win the Stanley Cup."

Embarrassing Hockey Memory: "To me, it's not embarrassing. I went offside on a three-on-0 breakaway. I thought, if they don't want to head-man the puck, shoot, I'll go offsides. Took heat for that one."

Favorite Players To Watch: "I had the great fortune to play against Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard - I was collecting autographs when I was 19. I had the pleasure to play against Gretzky, Messier - huge players. I never got the chance to play against Lemieux. Now, Ovechkin, Crosby, Richards goes out and gives it everything he has. He's fun to watch out there."
People Qualities Most Admired: "I like to see people who are up front, honest. Say what they say, handshake, then they do what they say. And I think being respected by your teammates is very important."
